First Quarter in the books
My quest for a QSO a Day in 2014 is going well. The first quarter is complete and by far March was my best month in the shack. I also continued my streak of adding at least one new DX entity to my logbook each month with March receiving two. During the CQ WPX contest I managed to add Ceuta & Melilla and Balearic Is. I’ll be honest…I had to look both of these up on the map. But that’s the fun of amateur radio.
I’ve started April off on the right foot with getting W1AW/1 (Vermont) and W1AW/0 (Iowa) in the logbook. I must also admit that I’m slightly behind on the ARRL Centennial QSO Party. I’m currently sitting at four worked including Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Vermont. Just 46 more to go…..
The QSO breakdown for March is as follows:
Mode
Number QSO’s
JT65
63
JT9
1
SSB
40
PSK31
5
2m FM
0

Until next time…
